MA Marignon... Any thoughts?
So, I have been messing around with this nation... and quite honestly it has all the hallmarks of a stinker. I think it gets over rated due to a halo effect with LA Marignon and MA Pythium.
Its infantry are resource intensive and only have map move 1. Its mages suffer from old age and absolutely crippling lack of magic diversity. It has two sacred units, one is capital only and costs 60 resources to produce and the other dies like a fly almost irrespective of bless. Almost anything it does well, Pythium does better. Just compare a Witch Hunter to a Theurg, both cost 150 gold. The Hunter gets Fire-2, Atral-1, Holy-1, but the Theurg gets Astral-2, Air-1, Water-1, Holy-2.
So, has anyone had any success with this nation, and have any tips to share? I can see a them working as a bless rush nation, and maybe even some legs into the mid-game when they spam Falling Fires with every mage... but long term not even a Rainbow will solve their diversity problem.
